From the repository

Add the server to your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor) using the HTTP transport at https://mcp.engpassradar.ch with the configuration shown in the README. No API key is required for the free tier; a Pro key can be obtained from engpassradar.ch/api-keys. The server can also be connected via Smithery.

`shortage.search`

Full-text search of current Swiss medication shortages. Searches product name, active ingredient (Wirkstoff), and company. Use for: "Ibuprofen Engpass", "was ist N02BE01 betroffen", "Novartis aktuelle Probleme".

`shortage.get`

Fetch full details for a single shortage by GTIN. Returns product name, company, ATC, status, expected return date, severity score (0–100), and BWL mandatory stock flag.

`shortage.alternatives`

Find alternative products for a medication in shortage. Returns same-substance and same-class alternatives, each with their own current shortage status. THIS IS THE HIGHEST-VALUE TOOL — use it whenever asked "Was kann ich statt X verwenden?", "Welche Alternativen gibt es für Y?", "substitute for [product]".

`atc.check`

Check how many products in a given ATC therapeutic class are currently in shortage. Accepts any ATC depth (C09, C09AA, C09AA08). Use for: "Wie viele ACE-Hemmer sind betroffen?", "is anything in C09 affected?".

`shortage.list`

List currently active medication shortages with optional filters. Use for dashboards, "was ist gerade betroffen", bulk monitoring.

`company.status`

All current shortages for a manufacturer, plus communication transparency metrics. Use for: "Wie transparent kommuniziert Novartis?", "aktuelle Probleme bei Sandoz", procurement decisions.

`shortage.timeline`

Week-by-week history of total active shortages in Switzerland. Use for: "wird es besser oder schlechter?", trend questions.

`stats.weekly`

Summary statistics: total active shortages, critical count, BWL affected. Quick situational overview — same data as the engpassradar.ch dashboard KPIs.

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.
